make problem: multiple taget patterns

[Yung Hsien <yung at connectinc dot com>]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with the GNU make from b18...

My makefiles use gcc to build .d files and then include them into the
make. I also use pattern matching to build the object files.

Here's a cut from the makefiles:

%.o:	%.c
	$(GREPSTRING)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -c $< -o $@

%.o:	%.s
	$(GREPSTRING)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -c $< -o $@

%.o:	%.cxx
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -c $< -o $@

%.d:	%.cxx
	(trap 'rm $@' 2; $(ECHO) "$@ " | tr -d '\012' > $@ ; \
	$(DCC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -M -DDEPCHK $< >> $@ || rm $@ )

%.d:	%.c
	(trap 'rm $@' 2; $(ECHO) "$@ " | tr -d '\012' > $@ ; \
	$(DCC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC) -M -DDEPCHK $< >> $@ || rm $@ )

include $(OBJS:.o=.d)

So my .d files end up looking something like this:

hdrgen.d hdrgen.o: hdrgen.c hdrgen.h (more random header files)

Now when I run make, it complains about the multiple header files (I
think)

hdrgen.d:1: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
gmake: *** [apps] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
gmake: *** [tools] Error 2

Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Tue Jul 01 16:09:06

I've manually edited my .d file to this

hdrgen.o: hdrgen.c

which works, but as soon as I add a header file dependency, it fails

hdrgen.o: hdrgen.c hdrgen.h


BTW, this all works fine with make v3.70 on UNIX
Anybody of any insights?

Thanks,
Yung Hsien
